"That's right. Do you have any good ideas?"
Du Feng didn't mind. Anyway, he would be exposed sooner or later when he went on stage. The most important thing now was to spend as few contribution points as possible to improve the quality of the Riding Dragon Sword. Because buying a good new weapon required a lot of contribution points, it was more cost-effective to improve the Riding Dragon Sword.
Besides, the Riding Dragon Sword had a spiritual nature, so he definitely wouldn't throw it away.
"There's something called Geng Essence. Senior Brother, you must have heard of it."
Zhao Shixiong really knew a lot. Actually, Du Feng had never seen or heard of Geng Essence. However, he knew about Geng Metal. Geng Essence was probably related to Geng Metal. Fortunately, Zhao Shixiong didn't wait for Du Feng's answer and continued.
Geng Essence was a precious metal supplement. It was in powder form and couldn't be used to forge weapons. However, it could be mixed with other metals to increase toughness and hardness. Under normal circumstances, a martial artist could buy a little Geng Essence and mix it in when forging the sword. It could increase the quality by half a grade or even a grade.
However, there was a problem with using Geng Essence. It couldn't be used a second time. If he wanted to smelt this weapon again and upgrade it again, he would have to destroy the previous Geng Essence. First, he would have to return to its original grade and upgrade it again. The end result would be the same. It would be a waste of effort.
This was the case for ordinary weapons, but this problem didn't exist for growth-type weapons. This was because the Riding Dragon Sword didn't smelt again but directly absorbed Geng Essence. It was just like how human martial artists would absorb and use elixirs after eating them. The next time they ate a new elixir, they wouldn't have to spit out the old one.
Ordinary herbs were sold by catties. Metal ores were often sold by jun. A thousand catties was one jun. However, Geng Essence was sold by taels or even by money. A tael was only one percent of a catty. One could imagine how precious it was.
After Du Feng figured it out, he brought Zhao Shixiong into the Glittering Gold Pavilion. He glanced at the high-grade and supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Weapons. They were indeed expensive. Perhaps others would be willing to use a high-grade Innate Spiritual Weapon to fight head-on with a second-level swordsman leader. At most, they could come back and reforge it.
However, Du Feng was reluctant. He intended to upgrade the Dragon Riding Sword to a supreme-grade Connate Spiritual Weapon at the very least. He had already figured out the price of Gengyuan. One hundred contribution points for one tael. Frankly speaking, it was just a small speck of golden powder. There were also people who were willing to spend ten contribution points to buy a coin, which was as small as a grain of rice.
Tsk, tsk, tsk … This thing is very expensive, but it is indeed a good thing.
Just as he saw Geng Yuan, before he could even buy it, the swordsman in the Dragon Riding Sword was already excited. He estimated that he only needed to consume another two or three taels of Gengyuan to upgrade to a supreme-grade Connate Spiritual Weapon.
Back in the Sword Pagoda, Zhang Xuan had already absorbed some iron scraps from the swordsman, so he wasn't too far off now. Du Feng thought about it and decided to spend 300 contribution points to exchange for three taels of Gengyuan.
"Yo, you're new, right? You have quite a lot of contribution points."
The person in charge of the exchange was a young man. He was not an inner court disciple, nor was he an outer court disciple. He was a staff member of the Feather Immortal School. The school was filled with masters and disciples. Similarly, there were also some staff members who were not there to cultivate but to earn money and make a living.
Du Feng's disciple token was new because there was a serial number on it. It couldn't be deceived. However, such a new disciple token had 262 contribution points in it, which immediately piqued the staff's interest. With his clamor, the other staff members came over to take a look.
"Wow, he's so stingy with only 2,000 contribution points. Let's buy a sword."
"Brother, let me tell you, upgrading a low-grade weapon is useless. Why don't you just buy a high-grade one?"
Actually, what the staff member said was the truth. Upgrading a low-grade weapon to a middle-grade weapon or a middle-grade weapon to a high-grade weapon could only be done once. It would be a waste after using it. However, if one bought a high-grade weapon directly, it would have a higher utilization rate. The next time he wanted to upgrade it, he could use Geng Yuan to upgrade it to a supreme-grade one. A supreme-grade Connate Spiritual Weapon was comparable to a low-grade Dharma artifact. It would save him a lot more money than buying a Dharma artifact directly.
"You don't have to worry. Senior Brother Du already has a high-grade weapon."
Before Du Feng could speak, Zhao Shixiong leaned forward and licked his face. He did not mention the Dragon Riding Sword and only mentioned that Senior Brother Du already had a high-grade Connate Spiritual Weapon.
"Oh, that's good. That's good."
The staff member was being kind. Since he already had a high-grade Connate Spiritual Weapon, spending 300 contribution points to upgrade it to a supreme-grade weapon was definitely worth it. If he wanted to be more powerful, he would have to spend money to buy a low-grade Dharma artifact first and upgrade it to a middle-grade one. However, the price of an Dharma artifact would be much higher. Moreover, it was not under their control. He could exchange with the hall master on the second floor later.
"Thank you!"
Although the staff member's opinion was not needed, Du Feng still thanked them. He used his disciple token to pay 300 contribution points and successfully exchanged for 300 Gengyuan. After getting it, he threw it into the mini world of his necklace.
"What's the good stuff to eat? I want it too."
Seeing the Gengyuan being swallowed by the Dragon Riding Sword, Xiao Hei was tempted. Now that the White Bone Banner and ghostly servants were left at the foot of the mountain, he was really bored.
"You only know how to eat. I'll see if I can exchange for something for you later."
Du Feng's words were unintentional. However, when he glanced at the list of items, he really noticed something. Thunder Iron. As the name suggested, Thunder Iron was an iron ore that contained the power of thunder and lightning. It would definitely be excellent to use it to forge weapons with lightning effects.
However, it was very expensive and it required a lot of materials to forge a complete sword. Martial artists who were not of high Cultivation Level and had great aptitude for lightning would not choose to use it. If he bought a small amount for Xiao Hei, it would be a good choice.
Of course, Du Feng was talking about the future. After all, he was too poor now. Of the 2,620 contribution points, he had already spent 300. He had to save up the remaining points and strive to get 8,000 contribution points to exchange for a supreme-grade sword manual before the tournament at the end of the year.
"Brother Du, it's a promise. When you're rich, you must buy me Thunder Iron to eat. "
Great, Du Feng had dug a hole for himself. Originally, Xiao Hei did not look for Thunder Iron, but now that he knew about it, he was extremely greedy.
"Alright, as long as I'm rich, I'll buy you anything."
Du Feng also hoped that Black could level up as soon as possible. After all, the Thunder Iron was different from the Demonic Cores of demonic beasts. Xiao Hei had a limited amount of demonic beast cores and needed a certain amount of time to digest. Even if he ate too much, he might not be able to advance. However, Thunder Iron was different. If he could eat a lot, it would definitely help him advance.
